Addings Gigs too just like part time jobs

-Each day there are upto 5 fresh gigs on a board like  food delivery, rideshare, tutoring, dog walking, freelance design, event staff, odd jobs, photo shoots and cleaning.

-A gig takes real game time and pays on the spot. About 1 in 6 goes badly and pays less; about 1 in 6 gets a big tip.

-Repeating the same gig raises its level  & skill for up to 50% more pay.

Suggestion for Elkbook's features :-

1. Post an update & Followers -

write up to 140 characters, or use quick posts.  People you know react with likes and sometimes comments. Reactions make them like you a little more, and your follower count grows. You get a message summarizing the reaction. You can post three times a day.

2. Friends: a searchable list of people you know, sorted by how well you get along. You can poke someone once a day for a small friendship boost, or open their existing Elkbook profile page.

3. Events: three events a day, such as Study Group, Run Club, Board Game Night, Charity Bake Sale, Open Mic and Campus Clean-up. Joining takes game time, makes friends, and can introduce you to new people.

Suggestions 

1. Achievements and a timeline of Milestones.

2.  A Banking app (balance, bills, transfers)

3. Kids who become real characters. At 18 they could become full NPCs with their own job, partner and home. Before that, you could do activities with them (read, play, help with school), and their personalities would mix their parents' traits.

4. Calendar events: festivals, concerts, markets, holidays and anniversaries, so the city has a rhythm beyond your own schedule.

5. More property: buy a second home or vacation house, and rent out rooms in the big residence.

6. A newsfeed or gossip system: what NPCs do shows up as city news, and your reputation changes how people treat you.
